Standard Pivot Door Widths

How wide is a typical standard pivot door?

Standard-sized pivot doors in the United States are 80″ tall (6′ 8″) and between 30″ and 36″ wide. The most common width is 36″.

SingCore offers a variety of custom made door panels to fit any size and requirement. From very large, to standard size interior / exterior doors, and even high end cabinet designs.

Don’t let the “standard” constrain your design when you can be free with the amazing pivot door panels offered by SingCore.

Our Standard Pivot Doors exceed standards in every way!  Apply your own finish to make the most beautiful pivot doors found anywhere!

What is the width of a normal pivot door?

Typical pivot doors, including pivot sliding doors, are 36″ wide in the United States, although they may range from 30″ to 36″.

Standard pivot door sizes are:

1. 36″ x 80″ x 1 3/8″
2. 32″ x 80″ x 1 3/8″
3. 30″ x 80″ x 1 3/8″
4. 36″ x 96″ x 1 3/8″
5. 32″ x 96″ x 1 3/8″

For wide doors in a limited space it is common to double up on doors using two doors which open side by side, or an increasingly popular option are custom pivot doors, which offer the grand feel of a wider than standard pivot door while maintaining space savings and usability.

What is the standard width of a bathroom door?

The most common size for a bathroom door is 32″. Your pivoting bathroom door, should fit inside the door opening For instance, add 3 1/4 inches to the width of your pivot door slab and 4 inches to its height to determine the necessary size of your rough opening for your pivot door. Although, in tight spaces bathroom door openings can be as little as 28″ or 24″ inches wide. For spaces that require wheel chair access, doors should be at least 36″ wide to accommodate all ability levels.

When building a bathroom door, be sure that you have considered every eventuality. Particular to bathrooms are concerns about moisture and sound penetration. SingCore panels are particularly suited to harsh environments. We guarantee the structure of our panels for 50-years, which means you are able to count on your bathroom door functioning flawlessly for years to come.

Further, we offer patented foam and wood composite hybrid cores for increased sound deadening and climate control far beyond commonly found door designs. Keep your private time private with SingCore.

 

 

What is a standard pivot door height?

Standard pivot doors in the United States are 80″ tall (6′ 8″) and between 30″ and 36″ wide. The most common width is 36″, but may be as narrow as 30″ depending on the width of the door opening. Be certain to allow for 3.25 (width) and 4 (height) inches room within the rough opening to allow for hardware and door frame.

Standard-size exterior pivot door size

Typical exterior pivot doors in the United States are 80″ tall and 36″ wide. There is some variation in width from 30″ to 36″ inches. 36″ wide doors are recommended to allow for easy access for the disabled, or wider (custom) and must use an extreme edge pivot hardware to fully access the door opening.

SingCore also offers “standard oversize” pivot doors at 8′ by 4′ (actual size 97.5″ x 47.5″) that are suitable for designs that stand above the crowd without excessive expense. In particular, we are well known for our work with custom oversize pivot doors, huge sliding doors, metal skin doors, and solid “wood stave” doors for higher end applications.

Standard bathroom door size

Although there is no standard door size, the majority of the bathroom doors in the US are 80″ tall and 32″ wide. Some doors vary between 28″ and 36″ wide. Be sure to measure your door opening, allowing extra four -inches to the opening height and three and a quarter-inches to the width for proper door articulation.

American standard pivot door size

Although there is no mandatory standard size, interior doors are typically 80″ tall and 36″ wide, while exterior doors can be as much as 96″ tall and 36″ wide.

Proudly Made in America

Standard pivot door height

Since most door openings are 80″ tall in the United States, so are the doors that match or are replacement doors. While 80″ is likely the replacement height of your pivot door.

For a unique or above average look, SingCore recommends 95.5″ tall door openings for installation in a typical residential home, and taller for multimillion dollar homes or commercial spaces with high ceilings. Note these will require a custom pivot door solution.

In a sense, this crates the perfect storm, where the result is the warping of your pivoting front entry doors, which could render them inoperable.

The bigger your large panels and pivoting doors, the greater the degree of warp and the more challenging a solution would be, especially if you’re facing problems associated with modern pivot wooden doors which are the bane of the large pivot door industry, because natural wood moves.

Pivot Doors

There’s no better way to make a lasting impression than with a big pivot door. Large pivot doors as entry doors are the best way to garner attention.  Plus your guests will remember and talk about that “big pivot door” long after they’ve visited your home or structure.

Pivot doors make an impact which does not fade quickly. We specialize in working together with the elite high-end millworks and exclusive custom door manufacturers to create breathtaking custom high-end pivot entry doors for the most discerning clients in the United States and abroad.

Specializing in large opening doors is a craft which until recent years presented immense challenges for architects, designers, and engineers when it comes to creating large pivot doors which are taller than eight feet or wider than four feet due to the limitation of the building materials available at the time.

Now, Sing Core presents a pivot door blank which empowers any visionary pivot door company to bring their large pivot door dreams to life. This has ushered in a whole new series of highly individualized one-of-a-kind pivot doors, each one is a specially crafted pivot door which may be similar to, but clearly unlike any other door, making their way into the most exclusive designs and structures around the world.

You can find pivot doors with Sing Core inside just about anywhere from beneath the sea (US Navy) to outer space (NASA) and everywhere in between. This is no surprise when you take into consideration that this is the only way to make large pivot doors which are lightweight, fully insulated, and fully resistant to warp.

Sing Core’s hinged doors and pivot doors are a growing trend among modern door companies, contemporary architecture, and design aficionados who are on the leading edge of the wide range of industries which they represent.

Large pivot entry doors are a symbol of elegant superiority, demanding the attention of anyone who approaches them to focus upon them. There is no hiding their effect on guest who encounter them. It’s hard not to pass through such a large opening without expressing one’s self, with something, like, “Wow.”

Until the advent of Sing Core, the resounding challenge facing pivot door manufacturers was the fact that pivoting doors were warping. Thanks to inventor, Peter Sing, his factory is able to build warp-free pivot door blanks custom-designed and built to host any flat building material. This non-warping substrate enables any pivot door company to build a pivot door that does not warp.

In fact, custom built doors, built in tandem with Sing Core’s true flat team can provide clients with pivot doors which can be guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail (including full structure) for 50 years; guaranteed in writing. No other door builder can do that, unless their doors have Sing Core inside.

Unlike hinged doors which are firmly anchored on one side of the door to help prevent warping, pivot doors only have two points of contact where the door swings freely from side to side, in some cases all the way around, pivoting on one anchor point on the doors base and the other on top of the pivoting door.

That’s it. Therefore, it’s very hard to keep pivot doors straight. Sing Core provides pivot doors such as aluminum pivot door and steel pivot doors, but also dares to build and create warp-free versions of wood pivot doors, which are by far the most problematic.

Glass and metal pivot doors provide the least amount of problems, yet architects and designers still specify Sing Core to reduce the weight and increase the insulation value of the metal and glass pivot doors to reduce sound and increase thermal capabilities for the best of all pivot doors available today.

And when it comes to pivot front doors, these pivoting doors can be the perfect solution for doors which face the sun and/or may be fully exposed to the elements. Sing’s modern pivot doors are featured in the most expensive homes and industrial locations, enabling your or your client to possess the most beautiful pivot door system.

Thanks to the true flat team at Sing Core, pivot doors are an excellent choice for addressing those large door openings. Having a guaranteed precision designed and engineered pivot door makes all the difference, especially for those with the highest expectations and attention to detail.

While perusing the pages of sincore.com you will find photos of pivot doors that will challenge your otherwise sound sensibilities, and you will start thinking outside the box as your start to imagine the new possibilities as inspiration for pivot door ideas which you may not have dared to conceive of previously.

You are not limited to using pivot doors as front entry doors because the look and feel of pivot doors can be seen across a variety of settings including used as outdoor pivoting gates made from unique materials including cement gates and pivoting HPL gates.

Specially designed and engineered pivot door, fiberglass and HPL pivot doors are quite common in industrial and hospitality applications where they are exposed to high traffic environments.

Sing Core’s custom-clad pivot doors can host any available flat building material, such as aluminum, brass, brick, cement, cold rolled steel, concrete, diamond plate steel, fiberglass, galvanized steel, FRP, hot rolled steel, HPL, Kevlar, Masonite, MDF, metal, stainless steel, and wood. Any type of wood species.

Aluminum Pivot Doors

The number one name in Eco-friendly lightweight and high strength aluminum pivot doors is Sing Core. There is no other patented manufacturing method can create an Eco-friendly lightweight aluminum pivot door that is fully insulated and stronger than steel pound for pound.

This aluminum pivot door weighs only 178 lbs!

This aluminum pivot door weighs only 178 lbs!

Though there is some confusion about how to obtain a Sing aluminum pivot door because Sing Core does not manufacture a retail ready aluminum pivot door. Sing Core creates their one-of-a-kind aluminum pivot door blanks, then sends it to your favorite pivot door company, custom metal pivot door manufacturer, aluminum fabrication plant, or millwork for the final touches.

You may order Sing aluminum doors from any of your regular aluminum pivot door suppliers.

21 ft tall warp-free aluminum edge pivot door

Routinely, architects specify “Sing Core inside” their architectural aluminum pivot doors. Sing Core works together with the top aluminum pivot door manufacturers in the world, who seek the best high-end thermally enhanced aluminum pivot door solutions.

Large, over-sized aluminum pivot doors are the Sing Core specialty because big aluminum pivot doors are either lightweight or strong, but only Sing Core provides an insulated aluminum pivot door which is both lightweight and super strong and are often referred to as, “The best metal doors,” available today.

Sing aluminum pivot doors are custom Made in the USA, created utilizing local labor and locally-sourced materials made in America, with very little energy expended, and no toxic manufacturing processes. The lighter weight saves in handling, transportation, and installation costs for a reduced carbon footprint and a pristine, sustainable aluminum pivot door contribution for a better United States of America.

Interior pivot doors made of aluminum with Sing Core inside are fully insulated for increased privacy when in the closed position, increasing privacy and security between adjoining spaces and are commonly specified for use as extra-large aluminum room dividers that pivot on any specific pivot point access from center or aluminum offset axis pivot door, even extreme edge pivot door hinges.

The lightweight and added insulation without compromising the overall strength of the door makes Sing Core the obvious choice when used inside aluminum pivoting room dividers for the acoustical advantages of sound isolation.

Aluminum pivot door prices vary across the board, and while these may not be the most expensive aluminum pivot door systems available, Sing Core does tend to cater towards the more high-end modern aluminum pivot door marketplace.

For increased security concerns in American aluminum pivot door products, aluminum impact resistant pivot doors are increasing in popularity and Sing Core is making an impact on the security industry charged with providing safe and secure commercial aluminum pivot doors.

You might be surprised how many times you’ve already encountered Sing Core inside storefront aluminum pivot doors, or in many educational, scientific, industrial or military applications.

Big aluminum pivot doors

We’ve often heard, “If no one can do it, call Peter Sing.” This is the most common inquiry made which introduces architects and engineers to the invaluable resource Sing Core can provide when overcoming the challenges of weight, size, insulation properties, or high precision aluminum pivot doors.

Take an exterior aluminum pivot entry door, for example. They are usually taller, and wider than other pivoting doors. If one side of the large aluminum slab faces the building’s exterior, and the other faces a more climate-controlled interior, this is a recipe for disaster.

This is why most pivoting entrance doors fail, and if your exterior aluminum pivot door fails, it may not reflect well upon your engineering, design, or creative capabilities. That’s why most companies will not warranty a large aluminum pivot door if it is over a certain size, because it will likely fail. If not soon, most likely at the next change of season. But not if it has Sing Core inside.

Each aluminum pivot door is a one of a kind work of art handmade in USA

Every premium aluminum pivot door from Sing Core comes with a 50-year warp-free and structural guarantee. Thanks to Sing’s True Flat Team, each Sing aluminum door blank is custom Made in the USA specifically for its intended use and performance expectations, and each door is guaranteed not to warp, bend, twist, or otherwise fail for 50 years if used for the purpose it was created for, and no other material is so high precision.

Because Sing Core does not use welding in the patented creation process of their 50-year guaranteed aluminum pivot doors, they have extremely high tolerances for high precision aluminum pivot door manufacturing with Sing Core’s =/- .006-inch tolerances.

Which also makes the Sing aluminum pivot door the best substrate to use for a modern glass and aluminum pivot door or wood and aluminum doors. While wood might be a tug-of-war challenge for any other aluminum pivot door blank, now you can mix and match aluminum with wood without having to stress over your next aluminum pivot door with wood project, regardless of size.

Master Quality Door Veneer Surfaces

Our Master Quality Doors are Complimented by Our Ultra High Quality Skin and Surface Choices

Wood Veneers

Veneer allows us to create a high end finish with less weight and cost while offering a wide assortment of beautiful door surfaces.  There are a number of different types of veneers that all provide excellent options that will compliment the styles of your structures.   Difference species generally demand a different price.  Some popular examples are Maple, White Oak, Mahogany, Cherry, Alder, and Hemlock.  Veneers are sold in bundles and range in price, but generally use the most flawless wood to provide the absolute most appealing visual aspects for your doors.  Standard veneer thickness is .020″, and is often used to decorate high end furniture, cabinetry, cabinetry, floors, and even plywood. You can trust Sing Core to veneer your doors, alternatively you can get substrate only and have your veneer applied locally.*

The beauty of veneer is the high quality wood grain appearance that provides you with the most natural aesthetics.  Each piece is completely unique, because it is cut from the actual logs.  Not only does this allow you an amazing modern appearance, but also you can achieve a more vintage, timeless, or antique look.  Normally, better quality veneers are used for doors, because customers want the best looking doors they can possibly get.  Door grade veneer comes in a few distinct grades.

Face Cut Options

Rotary Cut Veneer – Created by spinning the log and peeling off sheets, almost like unrolling a roll of toilet paper, rotary cut veneer is the most common type of veneer.  The advantage of this type of veneer is that it results in one continuous sheet.  It is a very cost effective way of producing veneer, but it results in a very unpredictable grain pattern.

Plain Sliced or Flat Cut Veneer – This is the second most common cut.  In this method, thin layers are sliced one at a time along the width of the log.  The slices, which are also called leaves, because the blade works its way from the top of the log to the bottom, there is a gradual transition in the grain pattern.  This method of cutting parallel to the growth rings results in a V-shaped pattern that is often seen on sheets of plywood.

 

Rift Cut Veneer – Another interesting method is the rift cut process, which allows for a more straight-grained look.  In this method the log is quartered, then cut perpendicular to the grain in repeating arches.  The advantage to this is that you get a relatively uniform grain appearance.  The disadvantage to rift sawn veneer is that it costs more, because the process is more time consuming.

Quarter Sliced Veneer – This type of veneer is also sometimes called quarter cut or quarter sawn veneer.  This cut is often specified when the customer wants an exceptionally straight grain appearance.  First, the log is quartered, which allows each quarter to be sliced perpendicular to the growth rings.  Since leaves are cut more narrowly than plain sliced, they are much more easily lined up with other leaves, allowing for superior uniformity.  Despite it’s vast advantages, this method requires a larger log diameter compared to the alternative methods.  This method also achieves a sort of flaking appearance, created when the veneer knife bisects medullary rays in the tree.

Veneer Matching Options

No matter what cut of veneer is applied, without proper veneer matching, your project will not turn out as expected.  Veneer matching is a true art form.  The job of matching veneer is a precise job that requires a detailed approach.  The appearance is partially determined by how the veneer slices are lined up on the doors.

Book Match Veneer – Every other veneer leaf is turned over, like the pages of a book.  With this method, the veneer will be mirrored between each consecutive two leaf section, resulting in a repeating series of symmetrical patterns.  This method is preferred by many, because of the continuity of grain.  This method produces both ascending and descending prominent characteristics of the grain.  Not all cuts of veneer can be used with the Book Matching method, however, but plain, quarter, or rift sliced veneers can all be used for this purpose.  This book end formation tends to reflect light and accept stains differently.  With this method there is also potential for wide color variation, known as “barber pole” in some species or flitches.  Despite these variations, they are still considered desirable.

Random Match Veneer – This method produces a more chaotic appearance, because pieces are generally unmatched, as if the applicator has taken a series of boards and lined them up on the surface of the door.  This produces a more old fashioned look, as something that was perhaps built before modern methods of veneer were invented.  With this method, there is often a deliberate method to reduce grain consistency.

Continuous Match Veneer – This is when the pieces of veneer are used for both the door and the transom, allowing for a very consistent look between the door and the transom.

End Match Veneer – This is generally selected for doors with transoms.  This match uses a single piece of veneer that runs from the bottom to the top of the door.   Veneer can be turned turned at the joint to achieve this appearance.

Slip Match Veneer – This is one of the quickest methods of matching veneer, but requires higher quality veneer that is fairly uniform in appearance.  Sheets are slipped out on the the surface one after the other, creating a wave of repeating patterns.  Some frown on this method, because of the abrupt joints.  This differs from book match veneer in that book match is better at hiding the joints.  Uniformity of color is superior in this method, because each piece has a similar level of light refraction.  It also allows for a relatively straight grain pattern.

Blueprint Veneer – is sequential veneer from a single source to cover an entire area. Complete rooms are the most impressive when they are blueprint veneered. Some jobs include matching blueprint door skins as well. Proceed with caution, making sure there is enough source material to complete the job, and there is no room for mistakes.

Natural Variations

Because wood is an organic product, each piece has its own characteristics.  There is a vast array of grain patterns and formations, which can vary among trees and different flitches.  Because of that, some trees may not meet standards.  Other trees may considered of exceptional quality.  Prices may also vary depending on the quality and appearance of the veneer.  Because of variations in natural grain of each tree and differences in cuts, you can experience amazingly unique grain, pattern, and color, for each leaf of veneer, which translates into an an unlimited variations in door appearances.

In all cases, the natural wood quality will improve and compliment design elements, especially if the wood is applied in its natural state, unfettered by paints and enamels which might hinder the actual beauty of the wood.

Some species, like maple and birch can show a wide variety of color ranges.  When it comes to maple and birch unlimited amounts of sapwood and heartwood, large portions may be unusable, because of unacceptable color.  Sapwood lighter in color, while heartwood is darker in color.  There is also the issue with light, dark, and color streaks, spots, and color variation that results from mixing sapwood with heartwood.  If these sorts of variants in color and grain are not desired by you or your customers, veneer must be selected accordingly.  If lighter shades of veneer are desired, you must specify sapwood maple or birch.  If darker shades are required, you should select heartwood, however, this type is often limited in supply.

 

 * = Professional veneering can be very tricky. If you are getting substrate from Sing Core and having your millwork (or someone else) apply the veneer, be certain to affirm that they have the expertise to apply the veneer appropriately. We use the highest level of professional veneer professional and techniques. We can guarantee our veneering, if you have veneering done off-site, it is their responsibility to do it correctly. A faulty veneer could jeopardize your Sing warranty.

 

Door Graphics and Murals

Very Large Sliding Door With and Without Mural

Our doors make an exceptional surface for applying murals, canvases, or printed wraps and images.  This is an excellent way to make an otherwise standard looking door, beautiful and vibrant.

In recent years, graphics, scenes, or photos applied to the surfaces of doors that turn your openings into true works of art.  This style of door is only limited by your imagination!  Some examples are as follows:

  • Fine Art: Amazing portraits, scenery and landscapes, animals, objects like cars and still life images
  • Photos: Nature, wildlife, underwater scenes, forests
  • Designs: Patterns, colors, shapes, and other abstract art
  • Wood Grains: Any sort of wood species, style, or colors
  • Plants: Beautiful flowers, leaves, barks, and other plant based imagery
  • Textures: Pebbled, rusted, grainy, smooth, baked earth and other textures
  • Other: Anything you can imagine can be printed Sing Core doors as long as you have high quality electronic images and graphic files.

We start with a smooth tempered board or Medium Density Overlay (MDO) for a best quality finish, or select a wood veneer or paint grade option for your highest quality finishes.  This is only limited by your imagination!

Pivot door. Stronger than steel pivot door
